Mom was 35 when I was born in 1969; Dad was 38. I was the third of three; for my sister, they were 30 and 33; for my brother, 36 and 32. (Brother came between their birthdays, hence the spread change.)
My grandmother was 26 when my mom was born in '34; Granddad was 31.
Other grandmother was 26 when Dad was born in '31; Granddad was 36.
I was born in September, halfway between my parent’s birthdays. Therefore Mum was already 23 and Dad turned 23 three months later.

Superfluous extra information of dubious relevence

My Dad’s family have trouble managing more than three generations a century. The 22.75 year gap between my father and me is the smallest for several generations. There’s 35 years between my Dad and his father, 35 years between my grandfather and his father, and between my great grand father and his dad was a remarkable 70 years (and he was the oldest of three! It was a second marriage… a late second marriage). So from Bill to Syd to Doug to Gray to Cazzle is 70+35+35+23=163 years, 5 generations. My Mum’s family could crank out 8 in that same time period, easy. There’s 31 years between my daughter and I, so we’re making a return to the longer generation gaps.
My mom was 21, my dad was 24. I’m the oldest - my sister is 20 months younger than me and my brother is 22 months younger than her. My grandmother was 24 and my grandfather 27 when my eldest uncle was born.
The one that always baffles me, my grandmother’s mom was 19 and her dad was 64 when she was born. It was his 3rd marriage. She had two half sisters, one 23 years older than her(I knew her and she was cool) and one that was 45 years older than her.
Nearly all of my cousins were older than me, but on my dad’s side, it seemed a bit ridiculous since he was the youngest of 11 children. My first cousins on his side were generally the same age as my friends grandparents.
